Orientation Leaders

We can't wait to meet you.

Your orientation leaders will be some of the first current Otterbein students you will meet on campus. They’ve got all the inside information you want and need to know. They are here for you, so get to know them. They are excited to meet you!

Orientation Leaders are distinguished upper-class students who volunteer their time to prepare for and to welcome new students to campus. Individually, they represent a variety of academic majors, hometowns, extracurricular interests and cultures.

When you arrive on campus for orientation, you will join an orientation group that will consist of 15-20 students and two enthusiastic orientation leaders. Recalling their own experiences of what it was like to be a new student, your orientation leaders have chosen programs that will help you succeed both academically and personally, and they will enable you to meet other new students.
